Industrial Rivet & Fastener Co., home of the RivetKing® brand, had an outstanding run on the trade show circuit in 2024, earning awards at three consecutive industry events. The achievements follow the company’s “Best Booth Award” at the 2023 International Fastener Expo (IFE) in Las Vegas, making it four consecutive show recognitions overall.
Assembly Show South — Nashville, May 2024
At the Assembly Show South held in Nashville on May 1–2, Industrial Rivet earned second place in the “Best in Show” competition, presented by ASSEMBLY Magazine. The centerpiece of the booth was the RoboRiv, an electronic rivet nut setting tool engineered for process automation. The RoboRiv is designed to integrate with robotic assembly lines and features process monitoring, poka-yoke error-proofing, and real-time data collection — delivering consistent, high-quality results in demanding production environments.
Fastener Fair USA — Cleveland, May 2024
Later that month at Fastener Fair USA in Cleveland (May 22–23), Industrial Rivet took home the “Most Interactive Booth” award as part of the newly launched Fastener Fair USA MVP Awards. The recognition celebrated the booth’s hands-on format, which gave attendees direct access to the company’s products. ASSEMBLY Magazine Marketing Director Lauren Csire noted that the setup stood out for allowing visitors to engage directly with the technology on display.
A Commitment to Innovation
Taryn Goodman, Vice President of Finance at Industrial Rivet & Fastener Co., credited the team’s focus on showcasing real technology and creating meaningful experiences for customers and industry peers. The company’s strategic approach to trade show presence — combining interactive product demonstrations with knowledgeable staff — has become a hallmark of the Industrial Rivet brand.
These three awards in a single year reflect the company’s ongoing dedication to advancing riveting technology and its position as a leader in the permanent mechanical fastener industry.
